Can you able to test the Fiio M5 able to bluetooth while feeding it to an external dac such as chord mojo? In other word, does the fiio m5 have the shanling functionality?

NO it does not. We have been trying to get the manufacturer to confirm whether or not this will/can be added in a future update.

That is the kicker. I prefer the Fiio M5 more than the Shanling M0 in almost every aspect EXCEPT for this. The BT transport functionality is why I got the Shanling in the first place. Hopefully the manufacturer will respond again (previously responded why the M5 doesn't have this feature, but many wondering if it can be added in a firmware update)...

At some point in the development cycle of a software-based product the manufacturer has to decide that the progress with features is sufficient to release it. That doesn't mean it has all the features they'd like to offer, but they've got it to a stage that they have a usable product. There are also considerations towards ensuring that the primary features are stable and the only way they'll ever know that is to release the product after testing as best they are able.

Ok. In that case, for those concerned about this feature, its better to wait and see if this feature comes out before jumping into buying , like me. There are few things that the shanling m0 annoys me. This fixed that, but took a step back on the major use case point for mojo users like me.

Could Fiio come up with a road map for customer's with existing Fiio device.

Like people with (or):
BTR3
Fiio M6
Fiio M7
Fiio M9
Fiio M11

Who would likely benefit to get:
M5
BTR5

For instance, people with M6 can do Aptx HD transmit, but will need the M5 to do Aptx HD receive.

Does M5 have bookmarks, or any other audiobook functionality?

Unfortunately not. It has been said in some previous posts, the people from fiio said that the m5's processor cannot do these two tasks simultaneously. If you want your mojo to be wireless without getting a poly, you'll have to get a shanling m0. But it doesn't support in-line mic as the m5.

One other note that makes the Shanling M0 just shy of perfect for this is that it can serve as a BT transport only using SBC or LDAC. Unfortunately AptX is not available for this.

Which phone do you have? Most of them have LDAC support now (and so does the m0), which has better audio quality than aptx...

 

[riverred105]

Now that the BTR5 is out, will it function as a BT transport like the SHanling M0, and if so, which codecs are supported?

iOS Here...no LDAC for me...
